The Anointing at Bethany

3 aAnd being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly1 oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.  
4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred adenarii and given to the poor.” And they bcriticized her sharply.  
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
7 aFor you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; bbut Me you do not have always.  
8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.
9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is apreached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
